It just goes to show that you never know who you are going to meet, so always make a good first impression. Less than a week after my formal interview, I was offered the position. After that, I did a formal interview and actually filled out the job application. I had apparently made a good impression because about a week later I received an email about participating in a behavioral based interview with them. Little did I know, that lady, Jennie Bracken, would be my future boss. I had stopped by their booth at the career fair and just started talking to the lady representing it. Usually, American AgCredit is looking for individuals with a major in agricultural finance or agricultural economics. My situation was unique because I did not meet the requirements for this job, and I also did not originally apply for this job. I first heard about this internship at K-State’s All University Career Fair. I was also in charge of finalizing ads to be sent out to local fairs, coordinating various events, and speaking with numerous customers in both person and over the phone. These tasks would range from everyday office work to helping create a marketing plan for the upcoming year. While I was there, I was given a variety of tasks.

My internship started on June 1 st and ended on August 14 th. American AgCredit is an Ag lending bank and part of the Farm Credit system. I was located in their Heartland Region in Wichita, Kansas.

This summer I had the opportunity to be the communications and marketing intern for American AgCredit.
